Style and Beauty: Does this capsule make me look frumpy?

Childbirth: If I'm not out in 48 hours, will I have to be induced?

Relationships: DP keeps messaging me from the surface to say that he can see himself on telly. Is he narcissistic?

Good Housekeeping: Can't be bothered to shift rubble from tunnel entrance. Am I a slattern?

(etc. ...)

I just spat my tea on my lap top!

SAHM/WOHM debate would be limited-

"I've been at work all day chipping rocks off walls!"

"Well I've been at home all day clearing them up!"

Ad infinitum

I reckon MNHQ would be sat at the top sending us Greggs sausage rolls and fruit shoots down the tube :) And reading material - all we'd get is ORT books!

Big/Slim/Whatever Weightloss club: Anyone tried that new Tuna diet?

Is it 1 teaspoon per 12 hours or 24? Confused

Big/ Slim Whatever - How do I lose three stone in 24 hours?

Style and Beauty - How do I fit in to my capsule wardrobe? (See above)

Meglet · 14/10/2010 13:23

Style & beauty. These shades are a bit year 2000, I'm not coming up until I get some huge Prada sunglasses.

sugarlake · 14/10/2010 13:25

AIBU?- All my kids fight and don't sleep. AIBU to want to stay in the mine and get some peace?

sethstarkaddersmummyreturns · 14/10/2010 13:27

Sleep - AIBU to want to stay down here as it is the first time in 15 years I've had a full night's sleep more than 2 days in a row?

MichaelaFinnigan · 14/10/2010 13:29

And all the flags outside the mine would be 'fun' Boden 'hotch potch' print bunting.

SanctiMoanyArse · 14/10/2010 13:35

'AIBU to not want David Cameron to be one of the first people I see when I get out?'

PMSL

I once had 'what a rude cow' shouted down a road at em for not sdhaking a Tory MP's hand (I ahd reason; severe eczma on my hands but wasn't given a chance to explain before he huffed off)

Can you imagien DC if you did the same thing?

But maybe the coal dust would make him less..... shiny.

(Would any Tory MP go to a mine EVER? I mean.....)

They seemed to have a Gina Ford-type routine going on. bet there was some controlled crying, too.

Changebagsandgladrags · 14/10/2010 14:05

There'a a troll down here.

MimsyRogers · 14/10/2010 14:10

For those on Gina Ford style routines - ditch the black out blinds, put baby to sleep down the mine.

FluffyDonkey · 14/10/2010 14:18

Pedants Corner: please note the UK spelling is Phoenix not Fenix

Changebagsandgladrags · 14/10/2010 14:30

Which reminds me, I saw the capsule and thought it said Felix, thought bit of a strange name...

FoundWanting · 14/10/2010 14:33

Primary Education: DC's teacher refuses to come down the mine for our P/T meeting. Should I complain to the Head?

BitOfFunderthepatio · 14/10/2010 14:45

AIBU to expect MNers to refuse the powdered milk being sent down and re-lactate instead?

Mumsnut · 14/10/2010 14:46

My MIL wants to greet me at the top. I sooo want it to be just me, dh and our baby for the first few days. How can I dissuade her?

AbsofCroissant · 14/10/2010 14:49
